ESQ-1 Let's Patch! | Live Sound Design Session | Vintage Hybrid Synth (1986) | Process Walkthrough

video upload by Dr. Synthy Pants

"Thanks to channel supporter ⁨@AlisonWilder⁩ for suggesting this real-time sound design session format for ye ol' gear tubes!

Vintage synths are magical for many reasons... not least is that they were designed with strict hardware limitations that forced the makers to invent clever solutions to difficult problems while keeping costs LOW!

(come to think of it, this may not be unique to vintage synths... I digress.) ::ahem:: Designing through those solutions is kinda like uncovering a time capsule of brilliant thinking and interesting sonic possibilities.

Maybe it IS true! Are we really only limited by our imaginations? Let's find out with Dr. Synthy Pants!"

Programming is similar to the ASM Hydrasynth.

video upload by LFOstore

"'Berlin Legacy; – truly first of its kind soundset for ASM Hydrasynth!
We are thrilled to introduce 'Berlin Legacy' – a groundbreaking soundset for the ASM Hydrasynth, bringing the modern view of the iconic Berlin School sound to the Hydrasynth, blending futuristic and retro vibes into 40 exclusive presets! The Berlin School sound has always been about emotion, movement, and exploration. With the Hydrasynth’s unparalleled modulation capabilities, we’ve pushed these presets to new heights, offering you a soundset that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
'Berlin School' is carefully crafted by Otto K. Schwarz, the well-known sound designer with over 12 years of experience, having worked officially with Access Music, Modal Instruments, Native Instruments, and others. His goal is to create sounds that inspire and push boundaries. And in this soundset you will find multi-layered sequences, pads, plucks and leads, that pulse, evolve, and transport you to another dimension. All the presets are modulation wheel-assinged, as well as up to 8 modulation knobs.
The soundset is the first of its kind: the only soundset to bring complex Berlin School-inspired step sequences to the Hydrasynth. Made with passion for fans of classical electonic music (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Jean-Michel Jarre). This soundset is a love letter to the Berlin School – but with a modern twist. If you’ve ever dreamed of creating music that feels both nostalgic and futuristic, this is for you!
